One-way lurch setting

Powerline recently posted a video by the newest "mini-Trump" French presidential candidate, an immigration skeptic (i.e., racist omniphobe unperson) about whom the bien-pensants are in full meltdown mode. Today's followup notes the NYT's somber warnings:
The Times considers it paradoxical that a Jew of North African descent whose ancestors arrived in France only 70 years ago should be a French nationalist. These same journalists can’t understand why most Hispanic American citizens are hostile toward illegal immigration.
Already this man without a party has illustrated just how far France has lurched to the right.
As a friend notes, no one ever lurches to the left.

No, but that's how they justify lurching everyone back.

People that work their asses off to get here to America legally, don't appreciate or like those that come here illegally. Some, (or a lot), of illegals are criminals or just coming here to avail themselves of the cornucopia of government largesse of free stuff and it makes the legal immigrants look bad.

If you believe that history is on your side then the implementation of your agenda, and any changes to that agenda, are just the organic outgrowth of the inevitable progress of human civilization. There is no need to specify speed or directionality.

What has to be explained is when the rest of society does things like elect the Mauvais Homme Orange.

The NYT's missive is an illustration of how far to the extreme Left the tabloid has gone. And an illustration of the journey of the NLMSM in general.

@ Mike Guenther - my Romanian sons and Filipina daughter-in-law would agree with you.
